I never did any deterministic simulation testing of you.

No, that was actually really, really revealing because I had never heard of that concept.

And it seemed to be...

I'm trying to recall exactly how they were leveraging it.

It was like being able to have confidence in the future because it tested it.

And it went kind of like an AI might even do to figure things out that you wouldn't normally figure out.

Like non-written tests, they get tested.

It's kind of like the unknown unknowns kind of thing.

Yeah, it's like a fuzzer sort of thing.

It's like a fuzzer for tests, but it was deterministic.

And so it could be completely reproducible.

Whereas fuzzers generally will produce pseudo-random stuff.

It's reproducible, and therefore you get regression type of assurances as well.

Obviously, I don't know exactly how it works.

That's why we invite the experts on to tell us.

You know, that's...

I should look into this more now that this is brought up because as you may know, I'm working on this thing called DNS hole.

And one thing I actually introduced was this thing called DNS chaos, DNS hole chaos.

And it was essentially like throwing chaos at this DNS server to like attack it and like make it push its boundaries.

And so pushing different RFCs, different things around it that it is supposed to support and should support.
